Cabal-version:       >=1.10
-- Egad!  Requiring cabal version 1.18 triggers a seemingly spurious failure on Mac OS:

-- So for now I'm backing off about the cabal requirement.  Setup.hs will catch it later IF an early version

Synopsis: A safe approach to CAS and other atomic ops in Haskell.

Description:

  After GHC 7.4 a new `casMutVar#` primop became available, but it's
  difficult to use safely, because pointer equality is a highly
  unstable property in Haskell.  This library provides a safer method
  based on the concept of "Tickets".
 .
  Also, this library uses the "foreign primop" capability of GHC to
  add access to other variants that may be of
  interest, specifically, compare and swap inside an array.
 .
  Note that as of GHC 7.8, the relevant primops have been included in GHC itself.
  This library is engineered to work pre- and post-GHC-7.8, while exposing the
  same interface.
 .
 Changes in 0.3:
 .
 * Major internal change.  Duplicate the barrier code from the GHC RTS and thus
   enable support for executables that are NOT built with '-threaded'.
 .
 Changes in 0.4:
 .
 * Further internal changes, duplicate 'cas' routine well as barriers.
 .
 * Add `fetchAddByteArrayInt`
 .
 * Add an `Unboxed` counter variant that uses movable "ByteArray"s on the GHC heap.
 .
 Changes in 0.5:
 .
 * Remove dependency on bits-atomic unless a flag is turned on.
 .
 Changes in 0.5.0.2:
 .
 * IMPORTANT BUGFIXES - don't use earlier versions.  They have been marked deprecated.
 .
 Changes in 0.6.1
 .
 * This is a good version to use for GHC 7.8.3.  It includes portability and bug fixes
   and adds atomicModifyIORefCAS.
 .
 Changes in 0.7:
 .
 * This release adds support for GHC 7.10 and its expanded library of (now inline) primops.
 .
 Changes in 0.8:
 .
 * Implements additional fetch primops available in GHC 7.10
 .
 Changes in 0.8.0.4:
 .
 * Internal changes to support forthcoming GHC 8.0
